OK I have the Verizon gnex and not using 4G WiFi only, casual use results in about 2 hours screen on time. Usually I have to charge 3-5 times to make it through the day. Im on stock everything and I don't see how my battery sucks so bad

The GNex is notorious for how quickly the battery drains while the screen is on. There's nothing you can do, realistically, on stock, to fix this...custom ROM users usually have some tricks to increase battery life.

It could be the fact that there is very poor signal, based on the screen shot.. So it constantly searching for it

you have poor phone signal (3g/CDMA) and the phone is constantly looking for it.
i see nothing wrong with the phone, nor anything you can do other than use airplane mode and connect to a wifi signal.

Battery seems about the same as mine, with screen on the most I can get is 4 hours and in idle if you use greenify on things that have lots of wakelocks like Facebook you could save some more battery.

I confirm this behavior when my gnex is constantly trying to get a signal.
There might be an issue with surface flinger, I've never seen it under battery stats. Radio signal is crap here, what I can't seem to figure out is why don't you use airplane mode ever since your contract was terminated.

For battery life you could even try a mild underclock. This is will may or not help, depending on what kind of apps (and processor usage) you run on the background.
It's definitely the signal because I experience it first hand when I go back and forth to visit my parent's house. They have atrocious signal reception (One bar for 3G) and battery drains around 3% a minute. It's a lot different when I'm at my place with full 4G signal because I can get 4+ hours on screen time.
It's unfortunate one of Google's flagship phones was designed poorly in signal/battery efficiency. Oh well, what can you do.

I've given my GN to my son so I could take the new GS3. I have to tell you that I'm pretty shocked that the GS3 routinely (stock or rooted and unlocked bootloader) gets about 24-30 hours of battery life with 4 hours of screen time.
having the same sie battery (2100), why the hell can't we get the same kind of battery life out of the GN? Aren't these 2 phones supposed to be close cousins if not siblings? Any ROM/kernel combo out there that can achieve this good of bettry life? currently on BAMF.
It's the Krait S4 chipset. Much smaller and therefore much more efficient.
Yeah, the Sammy improved on the weaknesses of the gnex w/ the s3, but the s3 has ics. Ics seemed to have better battery life. Jb seems to be more of a battery hog no matter which rom you have. Maybe when jb radios are released battery life might be a little better, but I just got 4 1/2 hrs screen time on codename's rom the other day.

ICS still had terrible battery life on the GNEX. Not much difference between JB. On the 2100mAh battery I averaged 2 hours on screen time with LTE on using ICS and JB. Battery life is terrible on this thing.

No one is arguing that the Big red is evil and is quite expensive. But they have the best signal, coverage, and speed. No one argues that. If you have a 4g LTE phone, why would you be running anything less? It's a silly argument.
I use google voice for texting, have 1400 min of anytime minutes for 3 phones with 10 friends and family numbers, and unlimited data for all three. My bill icluding taxes and fees is $212 a month. That's pretty reasonable compared to others. The problem, you can't get it as a new customer.

You can try turning screen brightness down, check your apps and see which are battery consuming, turn off any auto syncing, unless you play intensive games you can scale back the CPU. That may help some.

This is average battery life on the galaxy nexus. Check to make sure your not synchronizing your email or social networks to often. Also pay attention to your data connection. If it is poor your device will be constantly seeking for a signal.

Really depends on what you do with the phone and how high brightness you have set. You can get more than 2 hours from it. You should be able to anyway.
My screen has been on for 2h3m as I type this. 23h14m since last charge and I have 39% battery left now. I think about screen brightness though and adjust it manually all the time when needed. Also screen-off at 307Mhz and max at 1Ghz.

So if you're only getting two hours screen on, you should be going at least a day or beyond on standby.
Otherwise, I can pull 3 to 4 1/2 hours screen on, I used to pull consistently 4 hours+ but whatever is new in the kernels or ROMs is stopping it.

I'm with this guy. Around 2 hours screen time after 2 days (turned off while i'm sleeping).
I would expect more if you still have to plug it in at the end of the day. What apps are using the most battery? (as seen in the battery section of settings)
Most I have gotten is 3 hrs screen while on WiFi with the extended 2100 mah battery. And that was with no calls or music. I average maybe 2 if I'm lucky. I seem to get a fair amount of drain on 3g no matter the radio. Switched back to the stock 1850 mah battery to see if it treats me any better.

Could you post some info on battery drain statistics from battery settings tab or preferably gsam monitor over a full drain? I could probably help you out, just need some more info. Also try flashing fancy kernel if you haven't already. This is a newer kernel that gives the best battery life you'll find freshly flashed.
Before discharging toget battery stats I would try charging to 100% and using "battery calibration" by NeMa to clean your phone's batterystats file and then drain to zero with a screen flashlight or running gallery slideshow. This can always be a problem no matter how healthy your battery is.

The stock kernel performs way better then what you are experiencing. A custom kernel may help a bit, but it's not magic. I'd recommend using the app BetterBatteryStats in order to find out what's going on.
Do any of you think that me restoring apps would have anything to do with the battery drain? I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary in the GSAM battery stats but the battery drains way too quickly. 10% per hour even when I'm not using it..

Glad to hear that fancy kernel is helping. It's probably the closest thing to magic you'll find. I agree that 1 hour of screen time and under 12 hours is under par, but I was having these same issues 2 months ago and could not believe how crappy battery life was. It really got better though trying a bunch of different radios to find the right ones, using minimal gapps/resource hogging apps as possible, finding the right build.prop tweaks to use, and most helpful flashing some good reliable kernels like fancy and AK/anarkia that have incredibly useful customizations that stock just doesn't have, I.e., contrast and color settings, battery friendly governors and frequency profiles, optimized smart-reflex, and custom regulator voltages for display.
Well, didn't feel like it lasted too long. Fell asleep with my battery at 33%, woke up 3 hours later and it's dead. I'm ready to throw this phone out the window.

No need for the snake oil app, as simply unplugging the phone after a full charge wipes battery stats. Wiping battery stats and draining to zero aren't going to have any bearing whatsoever on this issue and would needlessly shorten the battery's serviceable lifespan.

I don't understand why but my phone is dyeing way too quickly and it's not so responsive (feels sluggish) as I want it to be. I see my friend has his HTC one and it's substantially faster then mine, both of us running all stock (mine is stock Rom but I'm using leankernel 6.8). I downloaded Better Battery Stats and I don't really see anything jumping out yet my phone usually lasts 4-5 hours with about one hour of screen time, sometimes I'm able to squeeze more. I have 90 apps on my phone, everything legit. I feel like it used to be much better before ..

the HTC one is faster. more memory, better processor. so thats a terrible comparison.
4-5hrs of screen on time or just 4-5hrs total?
Is it _THAT_ faster then GNEX? I'm running leankernel, mine is slightly OC to 1.2GHz. It seems like sometimes I could be running one or two apps and my phone would be really slow.

I don't really "undervolting" or any other tweaks other then install leanKernel and change "Power Mode" to "BestBalance" (it sets following: MaxCPU: 1305MHz, MixCpu: 384MHz, Governor: interactive, IO Scheduler: deadline, MaxCPU (screen off): 537MHz.
that is it...

Touche. Takes the device so damn long to execute tasks it drains the battery.

Screen off max cpu speed over here is 1.2ghz.

I don't really see any difference, but if you think it'll help me, I can try setting it to 1.2, although I'm pretty sure this isn't why I'm getting so little time on my battery..

3g does use less power than 4g,but it still drains pretty fast. Use wifi whenever possible. Turn on auto brightness for display. If u have the Facebook app, delete it and use the mobile site.

.. and that's why I use 3G or WiFi whenever available .. I'm official beta tester of Facebook beta, I can always submit a bug report to Facebook if app is misbehaving).

If I was beta testing an app, I would try to have a very small number of installed apps.
AFAIK, the longer the device has to keep a wake lock, the harder it is on the battery.
And 1.2 GHz is stock max speed, not an OC implementation.

Considering getting one of the latest rooted ROMs, but only if the battery life is improved. Anyone know of they bare better than stock 4.1.2?
Thanks
Any rom can be great because the rom itself really has not much bearing on battery life at all. What's going to impact battery life is kernel, user setup and how you use your device.

Ok. So are the 4.2.2 kernels better in terms of battery life?

This! More than anything, that line right there. My wife keeps asking me why her battery life is terrible and mine is amazing. I've got both phones on the exact same ROM (mrom), same setup, but she can barely get through the day, whereas I plugged in last night before bed and I was at 68%. I keep telling her it's facebooks fault...she's convinced I just hate facebook. That's beside the point...

It is Facebook's fault if using the app. I use mobile website with no issues and no battery drain.

Yep, she uses the app. That thing just eats the battery.

There are options to fix this issue with apps like that. Facebook is probably the worst with 20+ processes running in the background. Greenify is a great app to deal with those issues.
